TERMINAL cancer sufferer Steve Hughes’ bucket list road trip now looks likely to go ahead after he was left “gobsmacked” by a flood of community support.

The plans of Mr Hughes, 56, and his partner Lynne Woodcock, 51, both of Darwin, were left in tatters when their 1997 Toyota Landcruiser was stolen from out the front of Mr Hughes’ mother’s Morphett Vale home on Tuesday night.

The couple had planned to leave today on a bucket list road trip to Kangaroo Island, Eyre Peninsula and on to Western Australia while Mr Hughes was still able to.

Mr Hughes, who was diagnosed with small-cell cancer earlier this year, has been give six to 24 months to live.
